Michael Loveday

@yallaalia @BendingGenres @YIVJournal Sounds like my normal process too! 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@pagechatter @BendingGenres @YIVJournal Still making progress on the NIF…small steps, sometimes skipping, often plodding!

Thank you to every reader! 6 years after its 1st publication, my hybrid novella Three Men on the Edge (2018) has gone to a 3rd print run. Many other flash / poetry publications by V. Press authors I really admire here - lots to discover via this link! vpresspoetry.blogspot.com/p/three-men-on…

@yallaalia @BendingGenres @YIVJournal On a roll! 😀

@DevaneEmily Thanks Emily! 👍🏻

@pagechatter Really interesting interview, Michael. Thanks for sharing this :).

For anyone interested in the idea of composing a novel from short-short stories... Here's an interview with the American writer Peter Cherches, about his brand new novel-in-episodes, Everything Happens to Me, in which he talks about the writing process: novella-in-flash.com/2024/09/19/nov…

It may be grey and rainy but there's still time to brighten your week. You have a few days left to book yourself onto my Writing with Confidence Retreat in North London this Saturday. Come and write and feel good about being the wonderful writer you are.

@gosspoems @SuffolkLibrary @suffolkwildlife @Carcanet Love this collection! 🥳

Delighted that Latch is part of Wild Reads 2024, a partnership between @SuffolkLibrary & @suffolkwildlife encouraging readers and wildlife lovers to explore the connection between the natural world and the written word @Carcanet Events throughout October: suffolklibraries.co.uk/resources/wild…
